And Apple said that users are frightened by 3-button mice. So, why
isn't GNOME (and its applications) redesigned to use a 1-button
mouse? :)

FYI, RISC OS[*] has the command line easily available (one key press,
or from the main menu), and IIRC, no-one complained about it.

[*] I like to mention it because it has the most powerful and
intuitive GUI I've ever seen. And its main target audience was
originally children, not advanced users.
